Barista of the Week – Ashley

Why inxpot? The first time I went into Inxpot I absolutely fell in love. I’ve worked in coffee for almost nine years now years now and have never been in a place like Inxpot. I loved the location, the menu items, the decorating and most of all the baristas seemed to really be enjoying themselves and having fun even during high volume times. I knew then, just from one visit to Inxpot that I could definitely see myself working there and thriving.

Favorite menu item? Soy lavender and honey latte

Barista experience: Worked at Starbucks for seven years and Inxpot for almost one!

Childhood hero: My mother💕

Last song you played on repeat: Hey Mami -Sylvan Esso

What do you do when you’re not at inxpot: I enjoy hiking, hanging out with my friends and exploring new places

Biggest aspiration: I 100% aspire to be like my mother. She’s a Cuban immigrant who came here not knowing a lick of English and has an education no higher than the 11th grade. She has taught herself so many things and is truly one of the hardest workers I know. She is selfless, smart, goofy, and kind. I’ve never known anyone like her and if I can be even half the women she is, I know I’ve done something right in this lifetime.

Why are you awesome? If there’s one thing I can say that makes me awesome it would be my ability to relate to people who on the surface might be completely different from me. By having an open mind and talking to different people you really do meet the coolest most fascinating personalities. I don’t judge, I listen.
